Reserved-seat MP and National Citizen Party (NCP) Joint Convener Nusrat Tabassum has filed a case over an alleged arson attack on her ancestral home in Daulatpur, Kushtia, naming eight leaders of the activity-banned Awami League’s affiliated organisations and 25–30 unidentified people as accused.
Nusrat submitted the case at Daulatpur Police Station last night (12 November).
The eight named accused are leaders of the banned Chhatra League, Jubo League and Swechchhasebak League at district and upazila levels in Kushtia. They include the presidents and general secretaries of the district and upazila Chhatra League units, the president and general secretary of the district Jubo League, and the president and general secretary of the Daulatpur upazila Swechchhasebak League.
Their names could not be known immediately.
Additional Superintendent of Police Faisal Mahmud said the MP submitted a case naming eight people and accusing another 25–30 unidentified individuals.
A fire broke out at around 12:10am on Thursday night at Nusrat’s ancestral home in Bagoan village of Daulatpur upazila. The MP alleged that petrol bombs were thrown at the house to set it on fire.
Seven of the 10 rooms in the house’s tin-shed building were gutted in the fire, triggering concern in the area.
Senior district police officials visited the scene after the incident and collected various pieces of evidence.
The allegations against the named individuals are under investigation, police said.
